Does wood have iron in it?
Wood does not contain iron other than as an incidental contaminant; the main component compounds in wood are cellulose and lignin.
Cellulose is the main component of what?
Glucose .
Does the cell wall have a cellulose?
Yes - the main component of a plant cell wall is cellulose. The other main components are hemicellulose and pectin.
What is the non-living material found in the cell walls?
The answer is cellulose. Cellulose is a long-chain polymeric polysaccharide carbohydrate, of beta-glucose . It forms the primary structural component of green plants. The primary cell wall of green plants is made primarily of cellulose; the secondary wall contains cellulose with variable amounts of lignin. Lignin and cellulose, considered together, are termed lignocellulose, which (as wood) is argued to be one of the most common biopolymers on Earth (chrysolaminarin is often argued to be the other). Only one group of animals, the tunicates, has the ability to create and use cellulose. Some acetic acid bacteria are also known to synthesize cellulose
What kind of chemical is a Lignin?
Lignin is a chemical compound made from wood but comes from plant cell walls and algae. There are two kinds one which bears sulphur and the other does not. It becomes a polymer and is used for things like binders and thermostats among other things.
Does beanfeast contain cellulose?
Beanfeast contains cellulose among other essential nutrients. There is also some content of starch that is found in the beanfeast.
What are the characteristics of fibers?
Dietary fiber is any indigestible sugar polymer (e.g. cellulose, pectin, chitin, inulin, oligosaccharide) or other any similar indigestible plant polymer (e.g. lignin).
What are the fibers characteristics?
Dietary fiber is any indigestible sugar polymer (e.g. cellulose, pectin, chitin, inulin, oligosaccharide) or other any similar indigestible plant polymer (e.g. lignin).
What are the general characteristics of fiber?
Dietary fiber is any indigestible sugar polymer (e.g. cellulose, pectin, chitin, inulin, oligosaccharide) or other any similar indigestible plant polymer (e.g. lignin).
What does blotter paper contain that regular paper does not?
In fact blotter paper contains only cellulose fibers while other papers may contain china clay, chalk, resins etc. along with cellulose fibers.
Where can you find out which part of the average plant cell provides us with a source of paper?
Wood and other plant materials used to make pulp contain three main components (apart from water): cellulose fibres (desired for papermaking), lignin (a three-dimensional polymer that binds the cellulose fibres together) and hemicelluloses, (shorter branched carbohydrate polymers). The aim of pulping is to break down the bulk structure of the fiber source, be it chips, stems or other plant parts, into the constituent fibers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_mill
